Description

If you're already playing at 60fps this ENB should have next to no impact on your existing framerate. If you're barely hitting 60fps you'll see about a 5fps hit and if you're using flora mods, well, can't estimate anything there. Generally, the lower you are under 60fps the higher the performance impact will be. Not an exact science but how scaling works in general. If you see any jaggies, discoloration or shadow striping scroll down to the recommendations section.

Accurate representation of the Main (No Ambient Occlusion or Indirect Lighting) versions.

Extract d3d9.dll and enbhost.exe from the Wrapper folder in the ENBSeries archive and place them in Skyrim's main directory.

Extract enbhelper.dll from the enbhelper archive and place it in Skyrim's main directory.

Extract all files from this mod's archive and place them in Skyrim's main directory.

Play.

You can hit Shift+Enter at anytime and enable/disable effects (like ambient occlusion and god rays) from the EFFECTS tab of the GUI at anytime. Be sure to save and apply at the top of the interface.

=====Recommendations=====

Make these tweaks to your SkyrimPrefs.ini. Located in My Documents>My Games>Skyrim. These will fix shadow striping, grey bars and washed out colors. ShadowMapResolution and fShadowdistance will only aid in performance unless your settings are already lower.

-Main: SkyrimPrefs.ini

bFloatPointRenderTarget=1 Required for some ENB effects to work.

bFXAAEnabled=1 Makes edges as smooth as the screenshots.

iShadowMapResolution=1024 512 will give more fps but shadows will become blobs. 2048 is ideal if you can afford it.

fShadowBiasScale=0.1500 You can increase this to 0.2 or more if you see shadow stripping.

iBlurDeferredShadowMask=1 Increase to 2 or more if you still see shadow artifacts/odd patterns.

fShadowDistance=2000 Controls exterior shadow distance. 4000 is ideal if you can afford it.

iMultiSample=0 2 or higher will have a huge impact on low end systems.

If your PC has no problems with the enb gradually set effects to true in enbseries.ini. I highly recommend enabling ambientocclusion first as it's the only other setting truly worth the performance it costs. If you're still clocking your desired framerate enable skylighting (can only be enable from the config file). I'd stop there if you're trying to keep things clean, but you're welcome to enable everything else.
